State of the Den

A lot has been going on around the den the past few months. (I promise we haven't been hibernating.) In the words of our visitor Peacock, "We're going on an adventur!" We have been actively seeking new cubs to care for & nurture.

Dolphin Says Hello

Koala's Last Day

On May 25th, we had our last day with Koala. She was one of our part-timers that left so that she could be home more days of the week. We miss her very much, but we're grateful for the time we did have with her - especially the last day.

Dolphin thoroughly enjoyed playing in the chalk...

...as I'm sure you can tell.

For her birthday, Rabbit got a Butterfly Garden, which lets you get caterpillars in the mail and watch them transform into butterflies. It was a great experience to watch them grow, and the day after Koala left, we got to set them free into the wild. Kangaroo snapped the picture above. 

Technically, this wasn't Koala's last day, because the week after that we ended up watching her and her brother for three more days. :) Hopefully we'll put some pictures up from that as well. We miss you both! :D

Zebra's Last Day

On May 6th, we spent our last day with Zebra, one of our dear cubs who has moved on to a different childcare situation to be closer to his mom. His smile never failed to brighten our days, and we look forward to many future visits.

Here are a few photos from that day:

We miss you, Zebra! Thanks for making our lives so special!

Meet Our Cubs

We haven't been updating in a while because the cubs have kept us busy. Here's a taste of what we've been up to! Hope you enjoy it! :)

The Importance Of Wearing Light Colored Clothing

Yesterday, we were caring for "Monkey," who is our latest cub to join the pride. She's also the first cub we cared for this year, if you can figure that out! K-bird was getting her dressed after she arrived in her pajamas.

Of her black pants, Monkey said, "My legs are scared of their pants, 'cause it's dark in there!"

K-bird replied, "Well, what about your shirt? Are your arms scared of your shirt?"

"No, 'cause it's pink and they're not scared of pink."

Strange, but that makes sense!
